.A car covers a distance S1 with constant velocity v1 and another distanceS2 with a
constant velocity v2 . What is the average velocity of the car?
velocity = distance/time
(s1+s2)/(s1/v1 + s2/v2) =
The average velocity of the car can be calculated by finding the total displacement and dividing it by the total time taken.
To find the total displacement, we need to add the individual displacements S1 and S2. The displacement is calculated as the distance traveled in a particular direction.
So, the total displacement is given by:
Total displacement = S1 + S2
To find the total time, we need to know the time taken to cover each distance. Let's assume t1 is the time taken to cover distance S1 with velocity v1, and t2 is the time taken to cover distance S2 with velocity v2.
Therefore, the total time taken is:
Total time = t1 + t2
Finally, we can calculate the average velocity:
Average velocity = Total displacement / Total time
So, the average velocity of the car is given by:
Average velocity = (S1 + S2) / (t1 + t2)
To find the average velocity of the car, we need to calculate the total distance covered by the car and the total time it takes.
First, let's calculate the total distance covered:
Total distance = S1 + S2
Next, we need to calculate the total time taken:
Time taken for distance S1 = S1 / v1
Time taken for distance S2 = S2 / v2
Total time taken = Time taken for distance S1 + Time taken for distance S2
Finally, we can find the average velocity using the formula:
Average Velocity = Total distance / Total time taken
= (S1 + S2) / (Time taken for distance S1 + Time taken for distance S2)
